MyPillow founder Mike Lindell filed paperwork to run for governor of Minnesota, though he is not “100%” yet on whether he will actually run.

Lindell spoke with the Minnesota Star Tribune on Wednesday, saying he “isn’t 100% yet” on whether he will actually run. He set a date to announce his final decision. “I am going to announce either way on Dec. 11,” he said.

The Mike Lindell for Governor committee was registered with Michigan’s Campaign Finance Board on Wednesday.

Lindell is arguably best known in politics for his conspiracy theories about the 2020 presidential election. He released a film, Absolute Truth, pushing his claims that the election was rigged against President Donald Trump. A federal judge ruled in September that Lindell defamed Smartmatic, the company behind voting machines in the election. The judge deferred on the question of whether Lindell acted with “actual malice.”

17. A good mailing list, and promising to "split" donations with popular causes or politicians...

when used weekly, can earn one enough money to buy all the votes needed (and along with wiping-clean his debt, perhaps there is a new house or two is in his future.)

What a scammer. But, if the MAGA want to part with their money, let them.
